In case you were sleeping on the latest royal drama, Prince Harry is suing the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday’s publisher, Associated Newspapers, for publishing a private letter from the Sussexes in an attempt at making Meghan look bad. (He’s also suing a few other tabloids like The Sun and and the Daily Mirror for separate reasons.)

According to Daily Express royal correspondent Richard Palmer, “Nobody in the Royal Family or the Royal Household is supporting Harry and Meghan at the moment.” Palmer went even further and tweeted, “Even the couple’s aides seem embarrassed by their actions. William, who dropped his brother like a ton of hot bricks earlier this year, and Charles have distanced themselves.”

Nobody in the Royal Family or the Royal Household is supporting Harry and Meghan at the moment. Even the couple’s aides seem embarrassed by their actions. William, who dropped his brother like a ton of hot bricks earlier this year, and Charles have distanced themselves.

Palmer also called Harry’s letter “inflammatory” and said he and Meghan “appear out on a limb” at the moment.

Obviously, if that changes it will be a story but at the moment the Sussexes appear out on a limb. Whatever the merits of their various legal actions, they didn’t inform their family that Harry was going to release that inflammatory statement.

It’s not clear why Harry chose to release the letter when he did, but there are theories that it all comes down to a new provision that will soon change where media cases are held in court. Allegedly, Harry wanted to file the suit before the location changed from a division that’s more sympathetic to high-profile privacy issues (Chancery Division) to a division that’s typically sympathetic to publishers (Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court).

Ultimately, the royals have declined to comment on the matter, and we’ll all just have to wait and see how this shakes out.
